Wearable heart monitor for AF screening increases diagnoses but not stroke prevention

Screening for atrial fibrillation (AF) using a wearable heart monitor for 2 weeks can identify older adults with this potentially dangerous abnormal heart rhythm, but does not prevent subsequent strokes, according to late breaking research presented in a Hot Line Session at this year's ESC Congress 2024 in London, UK (30 Aug - 2 Sept).

Pooled analysis shows finerenone reduces all-cause mortality but not cardiovascular death

A pooled analysis of three large trials failed to demonstrate significant reductions in cardiovascular death with finerenone, but significantly lower all-cause mortality, cardiovascular events and kidney outcomes were observed, according to late-breaking research presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2024.

New study confirms safety of SGLT2 inhibitors after acute myocardial infarction

The SGLT2 inhibitor empagliflozin confers kidney-protective benefits and can therefore be given safely and effectively to patients when they are hospitalized for acute myocardial infarction (MI), a Mount Sinai-led global team of researchers has shown.

American football head impacts tied to increased brain damage and cognitive decline

Repetitive head impacts in former American football players are linked to increased perivascular space volume, which correlates with cognitive decline and neurodegeneration. The study suggests that the force of head impacts may be more critical than frequency, with potential protective effects from β-blocker use.

Clonal hematopoiesis identified as new risk factor for atherosclerosis

To the known risk factors for cardiovascular disease - high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, overweight and obesity, smoking, and physical inactivity - a new one has to be added: clonal hematopoiesis.

Semaglutide's impact on cardiovascular health expands beyond weight loss

Semaglutide, the popular anti-obesity medication originally developed to treat diabetes, continues to show cardiovascular benefits beyond weight loss, including reducing risk of death, reducing serious COVID-19 related events and improving heart failure (HF) symptoms, according to six new substudies published in JACC, the flagship journal of the American College of Cardiology.

New ESC guidelines introduce intensive blood pressure targets and renal denervation recommendations

Updated ESC Guidelines on the management of elevated blood pressure and hypertension include a new elevated blood pressure category, more ambitious and intensive treatment targets, and, for the first time, recommendations on the use of renal denervation to treat various forms of hypertension.
